Some families are having one meal per day to save the food so that it sustains them until the next distribution.
However, World Food Programme representative and country director, Francesca Erdelmann promised that they will continue to support the most vulnerable community in Zimbabwe during this lean season to make sure that food insecurity is reduced.A historically dry February has resulted in severe water stress for crops across most parts of the country.
"The donors are God sent my child," she started the conversation as was filming her arriving at her home. She continued with her story after she had took few gulps of water that her eldest grandchild, Hedrick had brought to her. It seemed like she had woke up early to be the first in the queue at the distribution center.
The distribution comes after a survey and 2.7 million people have been declared food insecure across the country and the WFP has so far allocated four districts, Mangwe, Buhera, Mwenezi and Rushinga, covering 230 000 people. Water and pasture conditions are going poor, especially in typically low rainfall areas following cumulatively below-average rainfall that has limited pasture regeneration through the rainy season.
